Hi all,

I have recently installed Debian 12, KDE Plasma on my desktop pc, coming from windows 10.

I haven’t yet messed with any drivers, everything seemed to run just fine. Until i noticed that after 1 or more hours just browsing or watching a streaming video, my desktop pc starts to rattle as if it is suddenly hard at work, the mouse cursor becomes unresponsive, and a minute later it doesn’t move at all and the only thing left is to shut down with the power button.

So, i’m pretty sure nothing is suddenly wrong with fans or CPU temperature or whatnot, but maybe a Nvidia driver should be installed? Can i just follow Debians advice here?

Do you need additional info?

    Did you have to enable non-free for that? Or, I guess, nowadays it would probably be in non-free-firmware.

      nvidia-driver is in non-free, firmware-linux is in non-free-firmware. You have to enable both.
